I also experienced what Soror LI wrote in her last paragraph in terms of feeling alienated from other neighborhood kids because of academic achievement and how I was raised.
Kids where I came from rarely ended up in MGM/GATE classes and I was bused. I still feel like I am in a space between two worlds.
The only kids who were my real friends growing up were my neighbors -- they could put up with my eccentricities and weirdness.
